Anime: The younger brother of the Sawada family

Chapter 31 As a Brother

Varian shouted that he was cheating, but Cerbero retorted that it didn't count as cheating because the other party was a contestant from twenty years later. Seeing that the other party was immersed in a tense atmosphere, Cerbero disappeared immediately after announcing that tomorrow's duel would be with Lan. Varian, who was bored, also left one after another.

On the way back, Tsunayoshi held Yayin's hand tightly and refused to let go until they returned home. Yayin was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower, so Tsunayoshi had to let go temporarily, otherwise he could follow her into the bathroom.

When Yayin came out after washing, she saw Tsunayoshi waiting at the door after washing up, and she was relieved to see him come out.

After washing her face, brushing her teeth, and drying her hair, she returned to her room. Sure enough, Reborn wasn't on his bed. As soon as Miyin pulled out the hair dryer, she realized her brother, who had just entered the bathroom, had already come out in pajamas. She was immediately puzzled. He'd been back in just a few minutes?

"Um...Brother, calm down..." Miyin looked at him with horror, a little frightened. It was the first time he had seen his brother so obsessed!

"I'm calm," Tsuna said deadpan.

Miyin: This is not a calm behavior!

Taking the hair dryer, Tsunayoshi pulled his younger brother over and made him sit on the chair in front of the table. He gently lifted up the small braids behind his head, adjusted the wind speed and blew it gently. Both of them were silent until the hair was blown dry. Yayin stood up and pushed Tsunayoshi to the seat, exchanging positions.

After everything was cleaned up and the lights were turned off, just as Yayin was about to climb onto his bed, Tsunayoshi grabbed his pajamas, forcing him to lean back and turn his head to look over in confusion.

"what happened?"

Tsunayoshi didn't reply, just looked at him quietly.

“…” Miyin blinked and understood.

The two brothers lay together, the big rabbit doll was thrown on the carpet, Tsunayoshi held his younger brother's left hand, staring at the white flame pattern on the back of his hand in the faint moonlight. Yayin looked at him for a while, but finally couldn't resist the fatigue of his body and fell asleep first.

After learning about his brother's death, even though it was ten years later, Tsunayoshi was unable to accept it and remained silent all the way, his confused mind constantly thinking...

In fact, Tsunayoshi is not as useless as he seems. He understands many things, but he is just avoiding them subconsciously.

Since he was conscious, Tsunayoshi has been reminding himself to be a brother who can protect his younger brother. Even if the other party is a genius in various aspects, he still wants to do his best to protect him, to protect his only brother...

I thought they could live a peaceful and simple life like ordinary brothers, until a few days ago... the younger brother said that he was a member of the mafia.

At that moment, Tsunayoshi felt resentful towards his father who had been away from home for years and working for the mafia. If he had not taken his brother away...

But after resentment, he could only accept reality... Since he had been chosen as a candidate for the heir, entering this circle was inevitable. Regardless of whether he finally sat on that position or not, now that the enemy was at his doorstep, he could no longer return to his previous peaceful daily life...

He can't hide, and he shouldn't hide.

There are many partners involved, and he must grow up!

Besides...his younger brother is not an ordinary person at all. If he is still the loser as before, he will definitely become his weakness, let alone protecting him!

Tsunayoshi didn't dare think about it. His four-year-old brother was taken to Italy and started training... going on missions... facing hostility from all sides, growing up alone, and resolving all crises... How old was he then? Why did he have to face these things that were not suitable for his age?

And there's also the work of the Shinsengumi... How does he carry so much responsibility on such small shoulders?

And that oath.

Knowing his brother, he would never do anything without assurance. So, he must have had some kind of evidence to make such a pact. It seemed like a compromise, one that risked our lives, but... what if? What if this was a pact that guaranteed their victory?

There was still a lack of decisive evidence, but this was known only to Miyin herself. All she could do now was to win the battle for the ring, and then figure out everything...

It was obvious that he, as the leader, should have made an oath with the other party, but in the end it was Miyin who put himself in the most dangerous position... He was always like this, making all the preparations, and then telling him with a relaxed look afterwards that it was okay.

As a younger brother, I always rush ahead of him, even though he is the older brother!

How many things have you hidden from me, Xiao Mi...

It was not until the sky outside the window began to dimly light up and a new day was about to arrive that Tsunayoshi realized that there was a large wet spot on his pillow, and his eyes were red and sore, the result of not sleeping all night.

When Miyin woke up, the first person he saw was his brother with eyes as red as rabbits. His left hand was still held by his brother in the same position as before sleeping. He had spent the whole night like this, and now he felt a little numb, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Good morning, Mi-chan." Tsunayoshi pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to force himself to smile as usual.

Although she didn't want to offend him, Miyin still told the truth: "Stop laughing, it's ugly."

There was a darker spot on the pillow, his voice was hoarse, and he looked haggard, obviously he hadn't slept all night, and this situation was more serious than in the past few days.

"Feel sorry……"

"Brother, why are you apologizing?"

"I'm so useless... I was born earlier than you, but you've always protected me..."

"You don't have to apologize, brother... I did all this voluntarily." Miyin pulled a tissue from the bedside and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "What I want most is to protect this gentleness that belongs only to you. Brother, you just need to stay the same as you are now. I will clear all the difficulties ahead."

"It's my responsibility as a shadow."

"No!" Tsunayoshi immediately denied, "You are my brother, my closest person,... my other half..."

"We are twins...Xiao Mi..."

They leaned forward, their foreheads touching, both gazing intently at each other.

"Okay, I understand." Miyin's voice sounded softly, with her eyebrows slightly curved.

The sky outside the window is bright...
